Ukrainian forces that have occupied part of Kursk Region have committed atrocities against civilians while using them as human shields, the commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia’s Chechen Republic has claimed.

In a post on Telegram on Monday, Apty Alaudinov recounted an episode in the border town of Sudzha, where he said Ukrainian troops had entered a residential house with children inside.

“In this building, they settled down on the ground floor… and chased children and teachers upstairs to use them as a shield,” he said, adding that this practice is widespread. He claimed that first-person footage filmed by the Ukrainians had ended up in Russian hands, and showed the brutality of Kiev’s forces.

“I received a huge number of photos in which I saw civilians who were simply shot at point-blank [range], in the head and from the back. All these civilians, unfortunately, died,” he said, expressing his condolences and vowing revenge.

As fighting continues on the border, videos have surfaced on social media showing Ukrainian troops grabbing people off the street, blindfolding them, and pushing them into trucks.

    Except this time they’re doxxing themselves by gloating on TikTok and YouTube. Unlike the original Nazis, these ones are stupid enough to not burn the paper trail. If Russia is serious about denazification, not by bombs but, like, in general (one can hope) - it will be easier for justice to be served, at least in theory. They must not be allowed to escape to the West, lest Russia wants to find them all over the place afterwards - in Africa, for example.

      Given how much Russian government officials are bleating about “traditional values”? I wouldn’t hold my breath
